Hi, i have 2 cherry barbs and a powder blue gourami in my 36 gallon tank. i am going to add some more barbs so they will be happy and in a school. But i am wondering if gold baarbs would school with cherry barbs because if they could i would add 1 more cherry barb and 3 more gold barbs to make a total of 6 and i think it would look cool with the different colors schooling together, so do you think they would school?
 
They wont school together and for that matter cherry barbs are a loose schooling fish. They appreciate the company of other cherry barbs and will hang out in the same general area but don't form a tight school
